Claudette Schreuders

Note to Self

Jack Shainman Gallery

Cool show of carved busts that are autobiographical and curious in their squatness. In the back room the artist is surrounded by her influencers, busts of family and people who inspire her. Very personal show and a very unique voice. Check it out through March 12, 2016

Jonathan Lasker

Cheim & Read

Paintings and works on paper representing work from 2013-2015. Amazing work about the act of looking, pulling you into the experience of seeing, not necessarily what the content of the image is. The work is mesmerizing and has a very computerized feel as well as a crazy thickness of paint that feels surreal as if you are looking at the embroidery on the blouse of god. Pec-uliar. Check it out through February 13, 2016.

Gregory Crewdson @Gagosian —  Cathedral of the pines, his latest set of images to be shown took 4 years in the making and 2 years of post-production which makes for an intense image maker. This show was big, loud and crowded, everyone naked and revealing themselves to the dark nature of real life. Open through 3-15-16. Check it out!

David Mann

Sympathetic Strings

Margret Thatcher Projects

Abstract paintings that have a great deal of layers based on the idea of Sympathetic Strings, or strings that lie below other strings that aren’t plucked but still resonate the sound. Visually powerful and emanatic with a centrifical force.

Cary Smith

Fredericks & Freiser Gallery

Such a cool show, so hard edged and graphic. the visuals just jump off the wall. It is so hard to get minimalistic visuals to make sense and to be balanced and in proportion. Check this show out and buy something!

Kim Gordon

The City is a Garden

303 Gallery

It’s always so interesting when artists dive into other reals than what you know them for. Kim Gordon from Sonic youth has a new show up at 303 Gallery, which looks very ephemeral and light and floaty, seemingly lacking any there-ness, but when you look at the crumpled up paintings on the floor, they really have a lot of graphic power and strength. These is a very interesting way of taking painting into a sculptural realm, I don’t hear the music but my eyes are glowing with happiness. Check out the show through July 24, 2015.
